The wife's got a uk residence permit that runs out in June. We are no longer going to reside uk. I'm british. However we need to go back in July for family gathering. So was planning on getting her 10 year tourist visa. Does anyone know if I would have issues. I think I read somewhere can't do a visa for 6 months after one expires? I know this a thai visa forum but I joined a couple of uk ones to try find the answer and no posts ever get answered, hoping someone from uk maybe done similar. Also while I'm on I've come in on a non o visa. Last I had was pre covid, what do I need to extend to a year. I'm sure last time I did was pretty straight forward and have to have 400k in bank any advice appreciated save me having go immigration twice

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on whether their wife can obtain a UK tourist visa after her residence permit expires in June, as they intend to return to the UK for a family gathering in July. They are unsure if the rule against applying for a visa within six months of expiry will affect their application. Additionally, they are asking about the process to extend their NON-O visa in Thailand and any requirements, such as having a minimum amount in the bank.

ahh OK. Pity as it would be useful. But with a long term standard visitor visa at least you'll be able to come and go as you please for the 5 or 10 years. My partner is on a 2 year visa ATM, we will apply for a 5 or 10 year
yes if i could, it would have been ideal to keep her with the residence permit but rules is rules. So yeh 10 year is the next option. Mind I might just go France stick her in a dinghy I wouldn't have mess around form filling then π
Thanks appreciated , I have done the wife's a few times just had her mother and her freind over uk aswell so I'm up to speed on doing visas. I just think I read somewhere you can't do a visa within 6 months of one expiring but not sure if it applies to her having uk residence. π€
